(MACCHIAROLA):"WHEN AMERICANS GET BEHIND THE WHEEL, AND TAKE TO THE ROAD, WE SHOULD CONSIDER THIS:
THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN PICKING WINNERS AND LOSERS, AND GIVING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TAX-CREDITS TO ELECTRIC-VEHICLE
OWNERS--AT THE EXPENSE OF EVERYONE ELSE. BUT, THE 'FAIRNESS FOR EVERY DRIVER
ACT' COULD CHANGE THAT--BY ELIMINATING THE FEDERAL ELECTRIC-VEHICLE TAX-CREDIT.
THE CURRENT POLICY ESSENTIALLY PROVIDES TAX-BREAKS FOR THE WEALTHY TO PURCHASE LUXURY
CARS--AT THE EXPENSE OF HARD-WORKING, MIDDLE-CLASS FAMILIES. IN FACT, THE TOP 20-PERCENT OF EARNERS RECEIVE 90-PERCENT OF THESE TAX-BREAKS.
NOT ONLY WOULD THIS LEGISLATION END THE ELECTRIC-VEHICLE TAX-CREDIT, AND SAVE TAXPAYERS
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS--IT WOULD ALSO INCREASE MUCH-NEEDED INVESTMENT IN OUR ROADS AND BRIDGES, BY GENERATING ADDITIONAL REVENUE FROM ELECTRIC-VEHICLE DRIVERS FOR THE
'HIGHWAY TRUST-FUND'. LIKE OTHER CONSUMERS, ELECTRIC-VEHICLE DRIVERS SHOULD PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE, TO HELP SUPPORT THE INFRASTRUCTURE [THAT] THEY DRIVE ON.
WE NEED CONGRESS TO PASS THE 'FAIRNESS FOR EVERY DRIVER ACT'--TO ENSURE THE FIRST STEP IN CREATING A FAIR AND LEVEL PLAYING-FIELD, FOR ALL AMERICANS.
PLEASE REACH OUT TO YOUR LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES IN WASHINGTON--AND URGE THEM TO SUPPORT THIS BILL."
